Great photos, didn't know you could get to Italy so fast and so close.

Yep, barely 4 hours to either Dolomites or Lake Garda, maybe 5 or 6 to Venice. Because it's all Autobahn all the way. It's a shame, stuff is so close but I very rarely use these opportunities.

I know why the horses and chickens like the wheel, you've been giving them treats, haven't you?

I don't feed other people's animals, but obviously they expected something. Came running as soon as I stopped. ACM placement came after the fact.

From yesterday's ride in Prairie Dog State Park, in Kansas.  Nice spot on a warm sunny evening, with a boat launch and small lake.

This picture is about parenthood most of all, I think.   It's endearing that way.

Nice pictures!

That quoted one reminded me of a picture I took not far away from my house for a week ago:

No wheel (was just out with a dog) but still a cosy picture

Cute And the landscape is very... not sure what the word is... "old age" with all the mossy rocks in the field and undeveloped land.

Yep. Spot on with your description  Large properties with plenty of undeveloped agricultural playing fields for sheeps and cows.

Happy norwegian farmers and world's most subsidised ones.

If the route to the liquor store looks this nice I could just imagine what the liquor taste like

Now I know why so many people are immigrating from flat, dry, desert countries.  They see pictures like these,  look at their flat, hot, and brown sand, and and say, screw this, we're going up north!

It's amazing to me that people could do anything else.  Anywhere around water is more beautiful and hospitable.  

In America, the continuing trend, though, is to move from colder states to warmer.  A lot, I'd guess, is the baby boomers and their parents migrating to where they don't feel so cold as they age.  If so, that trend could change after the boomers make up a smaller population segment.

For now, living in northern states is a mixed blessing.  With less population comes fewer job and cultural opportunities ... but also less crime and often less pollution.

Bees and electric unicycles, my current passions!

I was visiting a friend who's got a great place way out in the woods. I had a blast riding it around chasing his dogs and chickens... and bees ?

I'm hoping when I get mine, my over-friendly dogs won't knock me off it or run right in front of it and cause all kinds of havoc that way.

Ended up with a bottle of 2013 Kongsgaard Napa Valley Chardonnay and a couple of Cotes-du-Rhone wines  Ready to celebrate some good weather (at last!) this weekend!

Thanks! Yeah, we can't brag about fine good weather here, but the nature and landscapes are just stunning.

@Marty Backe I think you need to get some royalties or in-kind compensation. example: free exchangefor new model for life.

  Yeah, some of us noticed that when it  first appeared a month or two ago. Unfortunately for them it's rather ugly (at least some of us think so). Kind of looks like a prison riot helmet 

But did wonder if they got the idea from me because I know a couple of people from Gotway follow me on Facebook
